Broncos coach Sean Payton didn’t sugarcoat anything when addressing the performance of last year’s team in an interview this week.Addressing the franchise’s 5-12 season in an interview with USA Today’s Jarrett Bell, Payton saved his most unkind assessment for former head coach Nathaniel Hackett.“Everybody’s got a little stink on their hands,” Payton told USA Today. “It’s not just (quarterback) Russell (Wilson). It was a (poor) offensive line. It might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That’s how bad it was.”Under Hackett, who was fired after 15 games, Denver had one of the worst offenses in the NFL, finishing last in points per game (16.9). From pre-snap issues to Wilson posting career-low numbers, Payton said the Broncos were an embarrassment in 2022.“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” Payton said. “And that happened here. Part of it was their own fault, relative to spending so much (exple...

Inji-nious: Inji’s story is a fascinating one. Born Inci Guran in Turkey, Inji spent time in the UK and US, before studying finance. She recently graduated with that degree, and pretty much figured finance would set her on her career path. But then shit went down. After playing with friends and making music in her bedroom for shits and giggles, then posting songs online, people started paying attention. Boy, did they! Her song “Gaslight” went viral on TikTok, earning her over 6 billion views.Inji (Brett Callwood)She’s now being heralded as a “gen-z artist for the gen-z generation.” (gen-z, remember, being born somewhere between 1997 and 2012, so aged 11 to 26-ish). The key to that honor is that her pop songs are generally relatable; hopelessly catchy, eminently danceable, and with lyrics that make her audience feel like she’s singing very personally to them. That’s not make-believe either — at certain points, she tells her audien...
